Amor Fati

I found a door I hadn't crossed.
I stopped rewriting what was done and asked,
What can I build from what I've won?
It's not pretending that it doesn't hurt.
It's not forgetting what I lost first.
It's choosing peace over the endless fight,
Choosing to love this life.
In this life, I don't need the perfect plan to feel whole.
I just say yes to myself.
I'm going to love the life I didn't order,
The one that came, not the one I saw.
No more waiting for an apology; I'll build something beautiful from it all.
Love the life I didn't order, every piece of it, the good,
